A very good point Garth, i've recently bought a Woden vice for similar reasons.
The one question i have is does the Churchill splitter open wide enough to attack the ball joints on the Volvo?
I can't remember the exact amount but most "normal" scissor type splitters won't go near it or at least wouldn't on mine due to long taper pins, even cutting the end of the taper pin off didn't allow a normal one to fit.
Hence buying the one i linked to on Pg1 of this thread (think it was Pg1) and having found it's a good quality item (rare these days!) had no hesitation recommending it.
